This week the Damascus College Year 11 Legal Studies students went on excursion to the Old Melbourne Gaol to learn more about the history of our legal system and the understanding of justice.
While there they were taken
through the Watch House where they were shown how prisoners (including people
such as Squizzy Taylor) were held and treated.
The students then participated in
a scripted courtroom drama on the trial of Ned Kelly.
This experience prepares
students to apply their learning of the courtroom processes to their upcoming
criminal law assessment, where students will be taking on different court roles
to conduct their own Mock Trial.
Thank you to the Humanities team
for providing such an engaging learning experience for our students.
